Kalkine’s Global Tariff Report delivers objective, data-driven insights into key global sectors impacted by tariff fluctuations. It assesses how these changes influence equity valuations across affected industries, with a focus on trade-sensitive sectors that often attract increased investor attention during times of tariff-related uncertainty. The report also highlights defensive and countercyclical segments that tend to show resilience—or even outperformance—amid disruptions in global trade dynamics.

As illustrated in the table below, several key sectors in different countries are directly impacted by the recent tariff announcement from President Trump.

Key Highlights

 Latest Key Developments (as of 8 September 2025) 

1. Baseline Tariffs: A 10% minimum tariff applies to most countries, while about 40 nations with which the U.S. runs trade deficits face a 15% base rate. 
2. High Tariff Targets – On August 27, 2025, the US imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, raising total duties to 50% on USD 48.2 billion of exports, citing India’s Russian oil imports, while India seeks closer regional ties and strategic autonomy.
3. Canada & Switzerland: Canada is hit with 35% tariffs on non-USMCA-compliant goods, citing poor cooperation on fentanyl control. Switzerland faces a 39% tariff, triggering emergency trade talks.
4. China & Pharmaceuticals: On August 11, the U.S. extended its tariff truce with China for another 90 days, delaying a potential increase to the previously threatened ~145% level. Until November 10, 2025, Chinese goods will continue to face a temporary ~30% tariff, instead of the steep hike. A 200% tariff on pharmaceuticals has been threatened but not enacted.
5. Industry-Specific Tariffs: Steel, aluminum, and copper imports face 50% tariffs; cars and parts are taxed at 25%. Some agreements, like with the EU, cap these at lower rates (e.g., 15%).
6.     Major Trade Deals: The EU locked in a 15% tariff rate through a deal involving USD 750 billion in U.S. energy       purchases and USD 600 billion in investments by 2028. Japan secured the same rate with a USD 550 billion U.S.     investment commitment.
7. Tariff Rates for Key Partners: The UK, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines negotiated tariff rates between 10% and 20%. Mexico received a 90-day delay on new tariffs but still faces a 25% rate on non-USMCA goods.
8. De Minimis Exemption Removed: As of July 30, 2025, Trump ended the global tariff exemption for shipments under USD 800, significantly affecting low-cost importers like Shein and Temu.

Global Implications of Tariffs

Australia’s external sector data shows mixed trends. In July 2025, the trade surplus widened to AUD 7.31 billion, supported by exports rising to AUD 46.0 billion while imports eased to AUD 38.7 billion. The June 2025 current account deficit narrowed slightly to AUD 13.7 billion, equal to -2% of GDP, while external debt stood at AUD 2.68 trillion. Terms of trade softened to 114 points, and capital inflows increased to AUD 17.7 billion. Foreign direct investment surged to AUD 81.0 billion in December 2024. Meanwhile, tourist arrivals improved to 624,510 in June 2025, and gold reserves remained stable at 79.9 tonnes.

As of September 8, 2025, the US under President Trump has imposed tariffs on Australian goods, including a 10% baseline from April 9 and higher rates of up to 50% on metals such as steel, aluminum, and copper under Section 232. Gold, however—including bullion, coins, and certain energy-related products—was explicitly exempted on August 11, 2025, with Trump designating it a strategic asset outside the broader tariff framework.
